Hospes Palacio del Bailío, a luxury hotel in Córdoba
Accommodation

Where to stay in Córdoba?

The right neighbourhood makes a real difference in Córdoba. Sleep inside the Judería and you're two minutes from the Mezquita; choose San Basilio and you wake up in a patio neighbourhood the tour groups haven't reached.

Córdoba is a compact city where every neighbourhood is within walking distance. Your choice of neighbourhood comes down to the atmosphere you want: romantic in the Judería, authentic in San Basilio, or lively in San Pedro.
